From the league's perspective one of the two wild-card teams winning would solve a lot of problems.

On top of it all I don’t know if the NFL wants to put the entire league on hold for one week and highlight one game that has to be made up/resumed because of a horrific injury. They try to downplay the violence of the game as it is.

This is why nothing has been said yet. It's an incredibly complex problem that requires a ton of negotiation with many parties. The players may have their incomes affected seriously if they don't play the game. The rosters for Week 18 games may be different, exposing some teams who may have sat starters to more risk than they might have taken otherwise. Broadcasters and every team needs to all be consulted because they are almost certainly going to have to try to flex the Bills and Bengals Week 18 games to the latest time slots possible now. It's entirely possible the Bills may not be able to play Week 18 at all depending on how Hamlin's recovery goes. It's a huge morass of poo poo without any good answers. There must be an army of lawyers trying to figure it all out right now. I don't envy anyone having to sort out the logistics of it.

Just pick up where the game left off and play 5v5 until halftime, at which point Goodell says that he has seen enough and is willing to just call the game. Gentlemens' rule to not call any timeouts or challenge any plays. We can have this poo poo wrapped up in like 30 minutes tops.Eifert Posting posted:Are we dead set against just flipping a loving coin? The only way the NFL allows this is if they can charge PPV for it on the NFL Network.

One of the very real concerns is that putting these two teams together with understandably unfocused athletes exponentially increases the chance of injuries.

i propose they do not replay the game, playing the playoffs based on win % as though it had been cancelled, but then the bills and bengals play during the bye before the superbowl, and if the outcome would've affected the seeding then they simply re-play the entire playoffs all over again. i think sportsgenius86's idea is the best, in that it takes into account this particular situation of being a week out from the end of season into account and which teams exactly are affected. it sounds like the NFL rules or guidelines or whatever don't really provide for it as a possibility, which is too bad. as such, just cancel the game and move on.

a neat cape posted:So what are the options from a football perspective here? I know it's not important given the situation, but what else are we supposed to talk about? Some people touched on this, but NFL rules do not allow for #2 to occur. #3 can occur, but only when a team has done something like cheating which isn't present here. Similarly, the commissioner can terminate the game with the final score being equal to whatever it was when play was suspended. That cannot happen here, either, by rule because the game was not reasonably decided at the time of suspension. It was still in the first quarter. One and four are the only options available, and four seems most likely.

kidcoelacanth posted:going to be some weird loving vibes if the bills and bengals end up facing again off in the playoffs honestly the vibes would probably be awesome, the two fanbases are already molded together due to Andy Dalton sending the Bills to the playoffs like five years ago by beating the Ravens and Bills Mafia giving a shitload to his charity in return. If Hamlin pulls through, a Bills/Bengals playoff game would be the biggest party in the country

I can't imagine they are going to make any sweeping change this week and likely will just call the game a tie. Note that even the games that "don't matter" actually have a big impact on draft position.

We will combine the Bills and Bengals rosters for the playoffs. Burrow and Josh Allen will play rock-paper-scissors between each play to determine who takes the next snap.

I don't think there's any really spicy scenarios that is going to make the NFL feel like they need to reschedule the game. There's really only four teams (Chiefs, Bills, Ravens, Bengals) who are really effected by the outcome of the game, and I don't see any scenario where all 4 teams really need the game to be played. If the Raiders, Patriots and Bengals all win this weekend that's the spiciest outcome I can find, as it would make the winner of the Bills-Bengals the number one seed. But the Chiefs don't want that game, and the Ravens won't care. The winner would get a bye week, but the loser's first round opponent would get a bye, and likely head to KC in the 2nd round. That seems like a lovely proposition.

I think it would be even more fair if the Cinfalo/Buffinnati Bilgals are allowed to field 22 players against the opposing team's 11, but in exchange their score is halved at the end of the game.

Has anyone suggested just playing Madden to resolve the game? Let Madden simulate it like 1000 times or something stupid like that. That's a joke, btw. Seriously, though. This really highlights why the league needs to add another playoff team and just have every team get a bye. The current set up is incredibly dumb as it is and this gives them an excuse to do it. And it will make for a better product, too. But OH NO!! a week without football. What will they do?

Who do you take off the field for Stefan diggs? I would argue no one. Likewise the Bengals corners would probably get bored pretty quickly.
